Hello crafty friends. It’s Good Friday today, when Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus so I felt I should share an appropriate card. I’ve used a really old image from Claritystamp that I’ve had for years- the stained glass Easter window, which I don’t think is available anymore. I took the layout for this from… Read More easter garden
Welcome to my crafty blog, and an Easter egg with a bit of a difference. I’ve had Claritystamp’s ‘chicks and eggs’ set for a little while and felt it really ought to come out of it’s packet! It’s ideal for this week’s challenge theme of ‘egg’ over at Just Us Girls – I also picked… Read More floral egg
Hello there. I’m sharing another Easter card today – this one uses a retired Stampin’ Up! set together with a current one. The ‘hold onto hope’ stamps and ‘cross of hope’ dies were some of the first SU products I bought, but they work beautifully with the textured stamp from ‘artistically inked’. I’ve used the… Read More Easter blessings
Hello crafty friends – time for another Easter card today with hardly any stamping on it. I thought I’d have a play with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘daffodil’ dies – other than an online class with the brilliant Joanne James I haven’t used them other than to cut out the stamped images in the set. Time to… Read More a bunch of daffs
Hello crafty friends. I’m back today with another Easter card – trying to get myself well organised for next month! This one uses a couple of retired sets from Stampin’ Up! (‘hold onto hope’ and ‘gift of hope’) with the colour palette from the current challenge at TGIF. I started by stamping the wreath from… Read More Easter cross
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got a card with a difference to share with you today – I learned how to do this boxfold design in a recent class with Joanne James (aka The Crafty Owl). I needed to have another go at it as I’m planning to make it with my craft group… Read More Easter flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog and another daffodil themed card thanks to Stampin’ Up!’s ‘daffodil daydream’ set. I’ve used the new sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches, with the ‘saleabration’ theme from TGIF challenges. For the uninitiated, Stampin’ Up!’s ‘saleabration’ takes place when they launch a new min catalogue – you can get free products… Read More daffodil window
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve just about finished making my Easter cards now – here’s a last couple. I do love a CAS style with white on white and bright colours, and these definitely meet that brief! Inspiration from these has come from a couple of this week;’s challenges – the eggs wreath has… Read More Easter wreaths
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still trying to get all my Easter cards finished – here’s a final offering before it heads off in the post. I’ve used a Claritystamp that I’ve had for years – this is such a great little window scene, but sadly I don’t think it’s on their website any… Read More Easter window
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Easter card – this time using the current ‘Gift of Hope’ set from Stampin’ Up! I really like this little church image, which is not hugely dissimilar to my own church building, and of course the Bible verse in the set is perfect. I took inspiration… Read More gift of hope
